OASIS is linked to a number of international organizations and activities, including AMAP, The World Climate Research Program Core Activity CliC (Climate and Cryosphere) (http://clic.npolar.no/), and the IGBP programs IGAC (International Global Atmospheric Chemistry) under the AICI (Air Ice Chemical Interactions) activity, and SOLAS (Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study). There are further strong links with the IGAC/SOLAS activity HitT (Halogens in the Troposphere). Links to networks such as IABP, NPEO and AOOS are essential. An important part of OASIS is expected to take place during the upcoming International Polar Year 2007/09 (IPY). OASIS-IPY is fully endorsed as IPY program (#38)
(http://www.ipy.org/development/eoi/proposal-details.php?id=38%20%20).

We are eager to expand to a coordinated Polar research effort and identify further collaborative connections and opportunities. The research envisaged is of a multidisciplinary nature: it necessarily spans many aspects of Polar Studies, e.g., marine cryosphere (snow, ice; biology, chemistry, physics), oceanography (biology, chemistry, physics), atmospheric sciences (chemistry, physics, meteorology, climate), social scientists and human dimension, modeling (chemistry, climate, OASIS) and education/outreach.
